The White House Historical Association (WHHA) is seeking a full-time Project Management Coordinator to assist in the Development Department. The WHHA is a nonprofit educational association founded in 1961, aimed at enhancing the understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of the Executive Mansion. Established at the recommendation of the National Park Service and with the support of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, the Association uses proceeds from the sale of its books and products to fund the acquisition of historic furnishings and artwork for the permanent White House collection, assist in the preservation of public rooms, and further its educational mission. Since 1981, the Association has commissioned the annual White House Christmas Ornament honoring a historic president. Today, its acquisition, preservation, research, and education efforts continue through generous private donations and the sale of its books, products, and the Official White House Ornament. The Project Management Coordinator will work directly with and support the Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer (CDO) at the Association. This role requires a demonstration of leadership, responsiveness, strong customer service, independent thinking, and solid judgment in a demanding and fast-paced team environment. Responsibilities include coordinating meetings with internal and external stakeholders, maintaining confidential information, executing projects from planning to completion, and ensuring the CDO is updated throughout project implementation. The Project Coordinator serves as an important and visible team member, communicating and interacting with senior leadership, including the Association President, team members within the office of the Association President, members of the Board of Directors, members of the National Council on White House History, and senior leaders within the Association. This position is full-time and permanent, with benefits, and may require some work outside of normal business hours and/or weekends.
